The a few weeks before the wedding you were very prompt in sending extra fabric when she decided she wanted more fabric in the skirt!
I thought you might like to see the finished product - I also enclose a photo of the bridesmaids - the silks looked absolutely beautiful in the sunshine when we went for photos on the beach.
Thanks again ... Helen Eldridge
